[A Knight of the White Cross by G.A. Henty]@TWC D-Link bookA Knight of the White Cross CHAPTER III THE GRAND MASTER'S PAGE 29/30
On occasions of state ceremony, and at the numerous religious festivals, all were in attendance.
By this time Gervaise's trunks had been brought over from the English auberge, where they had been conveyed from the ship, and his garments were taken out and inspected by his comrades, who all admitted that they were, in point of beauty of colour and material, and in fashion, equal to their own. "You will have to get one more suit, Gervaise," one of the lads said. "At one or two of the grand ceremonies every year we are all dressed alike; that is the rule.
On other occasions we wear what we choose, so that our garments are handsome, and I think it looks a good deal better than when we are dressed alike; though no doubt in religious processions that is more appropriate.

He is a good fellow.
